• Fresh Look Fridays -- Web 2.0 Library | Blog

  "As with many of my recent Fresh Look Fridays posts, this one comes courtesy of a valuable member of my PLN. Meet Melina (@MelinaAkins) -- a fan-TAB-u-lous teacher in the Calgary area whom I've had the pleasure of not only conversing with online, but also in the more traditional face-to-face setting. Most recently, we spent some time chatting at the Calgary Teachers' Convention, where Melina shared a WONDERFUL site that I am now sharing with you!
  
  Web 2 is essentially a Web 2.0 Tools Library, broken down first into 3 types of activities, and then with TONS of information, ideas, instructional videos on usage, etc. Simply choose one of the three options on the home page, and voila! An instant list of applicable Web 2.0 tools!"
